When I knew people who supported Romney, I felt no need based on that to exclude them from my life or my social media circles.

One's ability to support Trump tells me much more about a person. There are too many things that are good and should be fundamental about a functional, enlightened society that one must reject in order to support Trump. Prejudice, fraud, bullying, and sexual harassment must all be accepted.

People who would accept these things are not welcome in my life. It's not because they're on the other side. It wasn't like this in 2008 or 2012. This time it goes deeper than that.

And to support Hillary, one must accept lies, corruption, warmongering, corporatism, voter manipulation and unfettered globalization.

It's a choice between two evils, however you look at it.

Don't forget tolerance of rape and child prostitution. (See Jeffery Epstein and William Jefferson Clinton.)

I mean, Trump is arguably FAR more involved with Epstein though - he literally has a quote saying that he acknowledges Epstein surrounds himself with young women:

“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York Magazine for a 2002 profile of Epstein. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”[1][2]

How can someone come to the conclusion that this means only Clintons support this? Clearly the common denominator is rich people abusing their power to rape children, not politicians raping children, and not Clintons only raping children. Rich people are abusing their power and America voted to fix it by electing a rich person who has abused that power.

I don't think unfettered globalization and corporatism are on the same moral level as being a sexual predator.

agreed, they're worse.

so you are okay with supporting killing of innocent civilians half way around the world, bombing of hospitals filled with children and women? Pointing out all the flaws of Trump ( which are true, btw) but ignoring bigger flows of Hillary while assuming some moral ground is more fucked up imo.

But Hillary supports Bill ? Why don't you support Bill but support Hillary ?
